! I.      Col 3:15
!! A.  Depending on the original texts being used, some of them say, “Let the peace of CHRIST rule in you hearts.”
!! B.  Now the word “RULE” in this verse literally means, “To be an umpire, to decide, determine, to direct, control, rule.”*[1]*
!!! 1.    /In other words/, /we are to let God’s peace/ /on the inside/ /lead us and guide us/.
!!! 2.    /We are to be lead be the spirit of God/.
!!! 3.       Look at ROM 8:16
!!!! a)    /In other words/, /this verse is saying that the Spirit of God //testifies// //to our own spirit/ /that we are the children of God./
!!!! b)    /The point being/ is that /the Holy Spirit will speak to our spirit//./
/He will lead us and guide us from His Spirit to our spirit./
!! C.
Here again we have the present imperative again which means continuous action.
!!! 1.    /We are to continue/ /to let the peace of God RULE/ /in our hearts/, /now and forever/.
!! D.  Paul goes on to say in Col 3:15, “to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.”*[2]*
!!! 1.    /The closer believers are to Christ/ (and /His likeness/), /the closer they are to each other/.*[3]*
!!!! a)    The /closer we are to Him/ the /more we realize/ that we are /one body/ and /one family/.
!!!! b)    /We are one body/, /but sometimes we/ /don’t act like it./
!!!!! (1)  Sometimes we shut out someone that is in our family, in our church and we don’t even realize it.
!!!!! (2)  How do we shut them out?
I don’t make fun of anyone, I don’t treat anyone badly.
We do it by not talking to them, by ignoring them.
!!!! c)     /We are to be concerned about every member/ in the body of Christ.
!!!!! (1)  Especial, those of us in our own church.
If we can’t take of our own, how are we going to minister to the world.
!!! 2.    /Paul/ /goes on to say/ in /Verse 15/, that /“we are to be thankful.”/
!!!! a)    /This is a/ /very common phrase/ that /Paul uses/.
!!!!! (1)  The Spirit of God must consider a thankful attitude very important.
*[4]*
!!!!! (2)  We must always have an attitude of gratitude.
!!! 3.    /1 Thess 5:18/ says, /“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”/*[5]*
!
II.
Let’s go on to COL 3:16
!! A.  1st of all this verse sounds a lot like Eph 5:18-19.
(turn there)
!!! 1.    /Col 3:16/ says, /“psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,”/ (/same thing/)
!!! 2.    /However/, /Eph 5:18/ says, /“Be filled with the spirit.”/
!! B.  Now turn back to Col 3:16 he says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom.”*[6]*
!!! 1.
The /Word of Christ/ /is/ the /Word of God/.
!!!! a)    The /early/ /apostles/ were /guided/ /by/ /the Holy/ /Spirit of God/ to /record/ the /Words of Christ/, /and/ /they were/ /inspired/ to /write God’s Word/.
!!! 2.    /The words of the/ /Bible/, /God’s written Word/, are to /dwell in believers/, by /study/, /meditation/, and /application/ /of the Word/.
!!!! a)    /It then becomes/ a /permanent/ /abiding/ /part/ of /one’s life/.
!!!! b)    /When/ the /words of Christ/ /become/ /part of a believer’s nature/, they /spring forth/ /naturally/ and daily in /psalms/ (songs from the Book of Psalms), /hymns/ (other songs of praise), and /spiritual songs/ (as opposed to secular odes) and as the /NIV/ puts it /“with gratitude.”/*[7]*
!! C.  Now the Word of God can be abiding in your heart in another way and that is thru a spoken Word of God.
!!! 1.    /God is going to speak to your heart/ and /Paul says/ /“Let the Word of Christ or the Word of God dwell in your heart richly.”/
!
III.
COL 3:17
!! A.  There are 2 things that I want to talk about this verse
!! B.  1st Verse 17 is an all-inclusive rule by which to judge our conduct as Christians.
!!! 1.    Young /people/ /today/ especially have a /difficult time/ /deciding/ /whether certain things are right or wrong/.
!!! 2.    This verse, committed to memory, can prove to be the key for unlocking many of these problems.
!!!! a)    The /great test/ should be: /Can I do this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ?/
!!!! b)    /Would this be to His glory?/
!!!! c)     /Could I expect His blessing to rest on it?/
!!!! d)    /Would I want to be doing it when He comes back again?/
!!! 3.    Notice that this test should apply to the words we speak and to the deeds we do.*[8]*
!! C.  The 2nd thing is that what ever we are doing we should do it as though we are doing it for the Lord Jesus Christ.
